JLee's Build

hey, i know you are a trustable source and have done most of this, i just bought most everything for my eibach/bilstein lift but i need to know about the extended rear brake line(s) do i need one? or two? also what about the BPV. thanks in advance for the help

 

I'm also going with CV shafts so the pinion angle is going to be set at 0 degrees to the drive shafts.

 

I'm going to say yes and yes. if you flex out your truck with a lift it's hard on the lines. Also SS lines will firm up the brakes if you install them all around. The BPV needs to be lifted with the amount of lift you have.

 

He only needs one rear brake line though.

Also Jerry sells the baddest ass BPV bracket out there.

 

how big will my BPV need to be then? i will be installing the eibachs on bilsteins with a 2" aal and 5100's in the rear. dont mean to be a bother either.

 

Probably around 2"

Jerry's is adjustable. So if you ever get more rear lift you can change as needed.

Oh ok. It just looked like it was set way too high for normal u-joints but I figured you had to have a reason for it lol. Are the CV's going to be as strong as the u-joints? I don't think I've ever heard or seen of anyone putting them on the drive shaft.

 

Holy cow, Good luck man!

Glad to see it's all together (sort of)! Looks like you planned it out really well and im sure you clearance tested it along the way so praying for no hiccups! Test it and lay beads!

 

There not CV's. Its the slang term for a double cardan joint driveshaft.

 

Ah ok.

 

Yeah that ^ they are a Double cardan joint not a typical CV. And mine will be one ton 1350 U joints

Yeah there is plenty of room for the links and the frame. I might have to make a custom rear slider leg so the lowers don't hit it at full bump. And do some more bed side trimming.

 

That looks pretty bad ass. You should just leave the bed off

 

Oh alright. Yea I know what a double cardan joint is but I've just never heard them called cv's, which is what had me confused lol.

 

Just picked me up a set of these bad boys

$200.00 each

 

At least thats cheaper than CTM's or Yukon Super Joints...non-greasable Spicers for me...plenty strong for 37's according to ECGS.

 

Yeah I was tossing out the idea of CTM or Yukon and decided to go Longs. There has only been 3 reported broken joints according to Bobby and that was the first batch and that's good in my eyes . I don't think I'll ever brake these.

 

I might look into these if I break stuff. Maybe sprinkle so Chromo fairy dust around the truck.

 

I was talking to Bobby a couple years ago and told him I broke his u-joint... "Hold on I need to sit down for this... Did you just say you broke my longfield u-joint?" Oh.. no I meant the caps got ruined.. "Oh I was about to call the press to come to your house and congratulate you on breaking them"
